It's been a crazy couple of weeks and with the temperatures hovering around 60 degrees lately, I forget that Christmas is around the corner sometimes. I still have Christmas shopping to do, although it will probably consist of Christmas cards and writing checks. But, green is a good color on everyone.
Earlier this week I thought I was pregnant again. And, if it turned out that I was I would be happy and excited about it. It would have been quite a surprise, but I would be excited if I were preggers. I was anxious during the 3 minute test and was a little shocked that I was disappointed when the second line didn't appear. All the way home from Walgreens I went from anxiety to thinking "It would be kinda nice to have another little one". In the end, the extra line that did not appear is probably for the best.
My next door neighbor is pregnant and finally has come to terms with it. She and her husband were in denial up until they did the ultrasound. They're excited, but really nervous and I cannot say that I blame them. It's amazing how something less than 10 pounds can profoundly change your life. You get some good stuff, but then there is the "not so great" stuff that you have to adjust to. In the end, it all works out. My neighbor is something like 20 weeks along and you cannot tell that she's expecting. She doesn't fit into her size 0 pants anymore, but is up to a size 2. Disgusting.
I gave her the name of my OB/GYN and when my neighbor went to see her and mentioned my name, the Doc laughed and called me a "mensch". I had to look that one up - my Yiddish is a little rusty since we moved out of the West Roger's Park neighborhood that I grew up in. But, I can honestly say that is THE single best compliment I have ever gotten in my life.
